Restoring a Perazzi Stock

Posted on November 14, 2009 by Doantrevor

Perazzi_MG_9426

One of the things that I feel is very important when working on restorations is to maintain the look of the original finish and checkering.

Perazzi is a manufacturer of precision shotguns from Brescia, Italy.[1] The company sells hunting and sporting models of shotguns in the over-and-under and side-by-side varieties. The manufacturer is noted for their removable trigger groups, high quality, and high prices (7,500 USD to 440,000 USD). The founder of Perazzi is Daniele Perazzi. The Perazzi family owns and operates the company. The company sells American Trap, American Skeet, Olympic and Doubles Trap, Olympic Skeet, Pigeon and Sporting models.

Perazzi shotguns are widely used by Olympic competitors, including Kim Rhode, who won a gold medal in Atlanta in 1996 and another gold in Athens in 2004.[2] Rhode uses a Perazzi 12-gauge (model MX12) for competition.[3]

Action Screw in Trigger Guard ~ Veterans Palma Raffle Rifle

Posted on November 10, 2009 by Doantrevor

Making Stainless Steel Action Screw

The purpose of the screw is so that one Allen wrench will fit all all action screws on the rifle.  The industry does not make a flathead screw with the same Allen wrench size in a flathead, so I had to make the screw.

Modifying a Composite Stock

Posted on October 25, 2009 by Doantrevor

This is a H&H Ian Robertson stock that I modified the pistol grip on to match the owner’s wooden stocks that I have done in the past that were Culbertson patterns with a slightly larger pistol grip.  I modified the grip to make it larger, matched the color and the silver pattern, installed butt plates, removeable cheek piece, bedding for a Barnard action, and made the trigger guard.  The stock is a composite stock – from time to time I do work on composite stocks, although most of my stock work is with wood.  Working with composite materials stems from when I spent years building custom motorcycles – show bikes.

Crowning a Barrel for Veteran’s Rifle for US Palma Veteran’s Raffle Rifle

Crowning and using a Q Tip to check for burrs on the crown.  This is a long forgotten old fashioned technique, but works well to make sure the crown has a clean cut.
